Angel Gomes, a young and talented football player, had a frightening incident on Saturday while playing for Lille against Reims at the Stade Auguste-Delaune. The team he previously played for, Manchester United, showed their support for him after he was knocked unconscious during the game. Gomes, who is now 23 years old, joined Lille in 2020 and was making his season debut on the opening day of the Ligue 1 season.
During the match, Gomes went up for a header and was hit hard and late by Amadou Kone from Reims. The impact was so severe that Gomes was knocked out and had to be taken off the field on a stretcher. The game was paused for 34 minutes as medical staff attended to him. Lille later confirmed that Gomes had regained consciousness and was being taken to the hospital for further treatment. This news was a relief to everyone, and Manchester United sent their thoughts and best wishes to Gomes, who was once part of their club.
Despite the scary incident, Lille went on to win the match 2-0 with goals from Bafode Diakite and Jonathan David. Diakite dedicated his goal to Gomes by holding up his shirt during the celebration. Lille coach Bruno Genesio expressed how terrifying the moment was and how he had spoken to Gomes after the game. He also mentioned that Gomes had asked if he would be able to play on Saturday, which showed that he still had a sense of humor despite the ordeal.
Diakite, who scored the first goal of the match, also paid tribute to his injured teammate. He was initially angry because he wanted the medical team to act quickly in such a serious situation. Diakite also shared how difficult it was to see one of his teammates being attacked and how the team was like a family. He was glad that they were able to focus and win the game, but their thoughts were with Gomes, and they were relieved to hear the initial positive news about his condition.
Genesio also mentioned that Gomes was conscious when he was taken to the hospital and had even joked about the results. However, they would have to wait for further updates on his condition. The most important thing was for Gomes to recover peacefully from the incident. Genesio also shared how scared he was and how he did not want to see the footage of the incident again.
It was a scary and emotional moment for everyone involved, and Manchester United showed their support for Gomes, who was once a part of their team.
